Skip to content At Womens Health Group Chicago, we emphasize a holistic and integrative approach to managing endometriosis pain. We understand that persistent pain can significantly affect your quality of life, which is why our dedicated team of experts offers customized treatment plans aimed at reducing symptoms and promoting overall well-being. Our multidisciplinary approach includes non-narcotic medications, lifestyle modification techniques, and alternative therapies like acupuncture or massages.
Endometriosis often brings imbalance into women’s hormonal cycles. Here at Womens Health Group Chicago, we offer various hormonal therapies designed to balance hormones levels and alleviate the common symptoms associated with this condition such as heavy periods and chronic pelvic pain. Through personalized treatment regimens including birth control pills, progestin therapy or GnRH agonists – our professionals help bend the arc towards wellness thereby enhancing comfort during daily activities.
Surgical procedures are sometimes necessary in treating severe cases of endometriosis; however they need not always be invasive or complex affairs. At Womens Health Group Chicago we focus on minimally invasive surgeries which include laparoscopic surgery or robotic-assisted surgery that result in less blood loss, reduced post-operative discomfort, shorter hospital stays & faster recoveries when compared to traditional open procedures.
Understanding the link between endometriosis and fertility issues is crucial when restorative solutions are sought for reproductive health. At Womens Health Group Chicago our competent team offers comprehensive fertility preservation options along with other infertility treatments. These strategies involve egg freezing before significant disease progression while medical interventions may encompass controlled ovarian stimulation protocols along with intrauterine insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
Suffering from endometriosis can often lead to pelvic floor dysfunction with symptoms that range from pain during intercourse, painful bowel movements to urinary urgency. At Womens Health Group Chicago, we provide targeted pelvic floor therapies by trained physical therapists – involving various exercises and techniques to improve muscle function thereby reducing discomfort.
With emerging evidence linking diet and endometriosis, there is growing interest in nutrition as an important part of treatment strategies. The professionals at Womens Health Group Chicago offer robust nutritional counseling aiming to identify eating patterns that aggravate the symptoms while promoting those that ameliorate them. Our customized dietary approaches tie together scientific insight with personal needs and priorities, fostering a healthier lifestyle for everyday living.
